# Day 46 · Earlier, later, and what changed

**Useful job:** Make a daily-change strip without turning an unknown cause into a fact. **Target:** U02 daily environmental changes/everyday effect; AC9S1I04/I05/I06 and I01 for a saved own later idea. Actual I02/I03 only for genuine appropriate conduct.

**Source/preparation:** C11/C12 complete weather records. C11 later ordinary panel stays separately covered until an own first idea is offered/saved or declined. If actual same-feature views are available, adult reviews them separately and records source/time/feature; no repeat is owed.

**Six moves:** (1) Read C11's earlier record and invite a tentative later idea. (2) Save that contribution or its honest absence before release. (3) Open the full later note and compare only the stated feature. (4) Model with C12: the fictional character's changed drawing topic is a reported response; our intended topic is a plan. (5) Offer a route below. (6) Compare observations/source with prediction faithfully and retain what was unchanged or still unknown; no guaranteed drying rate or measured temperature.

### Route 46.1 · Two-frame editor

Use C11 and put/direct the labelled earlier and later frames into order. Add one changed-feature caption and compare with an actual saved first idea if present. The story time is the intended comparison difference, not an automatic fairness fault.

Say: “What changed in this view? What did your earlier idea say?”

### Route 46.2 · Story choice switchboard

Read C12. Child directs a switchboard between the character's two drawing topics, then labels a separate own if-plan. Explain the source clue that informed the reported switch. There is no compulsory matching of everyone's favourite activity.

Say: “What clue changed this character's job?”

### Route 46.3 · Missing-cause detective

Use C11's full pair with the new claim “The ground dried because it was hotter.” Child identifies that no temperature or cause was recorded and makes a useful further question. Do not replace one invented cause with another.

Say: “Which part is a clue, and which part is a guess?”

**Small check/next:** Describes a stated daily change and relevant everyday effect without invented cause/action. Use C12 for clue/action/plan confusion; C14 for unknown cause. **Exit:** “What would another note need to tell us?”
